Check out the youtube video of my latest dry-land obsession. If you have access to a racquetball or squash court, a good bouncy medicine ball and an equally matched training partner give this a try.
YouTube- CORE BALL aka Medicine Ball Racquet Ball
The rules are simple: the ball must hit above the bottom line (6') and it can't bounce more than once. 3 games to five points is a great workout. We've had some individual points last up to 150 tosses. We play with either a 4 or 6 pound ball. There is a fantastic transference of rotational energy from the legs, through the core, to the uppper body.

That looks insanely fun!
I did a dryland workout on MLK day in the gym that involved tossing a med ball back and forth with a partner. Pretty simple stuff but it was my first time using the balls. Needless to say, my pecs were butt-sore. Everytime I tried to reach my arm around to scratch my back, I had to stop. Made me feel terribly inflexible.
